Find the number of primitive roots of G=?(a) 5(b) 6(c) 4(d) 10This question was posed to me in a national level competition.This interesting question is from Number Theory topic in chapter More Number Theory of Cryptograph & Network Security

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) 4

Easy explanation: Number of primitive ROOTS = f(f(11))=f((111-110)) = f(10)= f(2). f(5)

= (21-20)(51-50) = 1 x 4 = 4

The primitive roots of this set {2, 6, 7, 8}.
